Hanif Kureishi In Conversation – Live at Shepherd’s Bush Market

📅 Tuesday 24th June | 🕖 7–9 PM

🎤 Presented by Special Rider Books & Records

Join us for an extraordinary literary evening in the heart of West London. This special event features Hanif Kureishi in conversation with journalist James Fox, as they explore Kureishi’s moving new memoir, Shattered.

One of Britain’s most celebrated writers, Kureishi reflects on the traumatic fall he suffered on Boxing Day 2022 that left him paralysed. In his darkest hour, writing became a lifeline. Dictated from a hospital bed, his raw, insightful dispatches evolved into a deeply personal and powerful memoir.

The event will take place inside Arch 156 at Shepherd’s Bush Market, offering an intimate setting for what promises to be a candid and thought-provoking conversation. With a career spanning novels, screenplays and theatre—including My Beautiful Laundrette and The Buddha of Suburbia—Kureishi’s voice remains as urgent and relevant as ever.

In this exclusive two-hour event, Kureishi and Fox will discuss life, resilience, and creativity after crisis. An audience Q&A will follow the main conversation, giving you the chance to engage directly with the author.

This is a must-attend for anyone passionate about literature, personal storytelling, and cultural commentary. Whether you’re a long-time fan or new to his work, this evening will offer rare access to one of the UK’s most vital literary voices.

Spaces are limited—book now to avoid disappointment.
